The Meaning of Home

Get cozy with a book,pull up the covers.Now, wonder, what does home mean to you? To some it means status,to some it means friends,to some it means family,some it means a bed.Thats what a home means to them, but for me two of them are true. Its family and friends of course, but I hope it’s what it means to you.To me a home means family and friends,not just some walls,some doors, some pots, and some pans.What a home means to me is friends and family,and with those things everyone can live happily.Some people don't have a home,I know, its sad but i'm speaking the truth,and I don't mean ceilings, tiles, floors and a roof.This is what home means to me,because friends and family fill me with glee. Home is where you feel safe and makes you feel better,and making you feel unsafe, happens never.Now imagine,you’re stranded in a jungle,you've been there for a day,it's a cold dark night, as you lay.It’s raining and you can't sleep because the birds have tons to say,you feel deserted,you feel like a stray. That's not good,not even alright,but you have to remember to look at the light.Heres a question that some people ask,can you have a home when your sad.To me you can have a home with any feelings like when your mad, and when your glad.home is where you feel safe, with family and friends every day,I know I a ton of the words family and friends ,but without friends and family how can we mend?In all, having a home is great, even if you are having a really bad day.
